I've been thinking about the skype lately. Mostly just because my cell phone is a piece of crap and my service providers (cough cough, alltel, cough) is lousy, actually all local service providers here are dumb, but it is just seeming to be a waste of money. We have a department cell phone for work, and anyone else I could ever want to call either already has skype or could get it, so the cell phone might get donated to the domestic abuse shelter after my contract runs out.

I use it but i get enough requests from people in China or Asia that i tend to just decline them all. Nothing personal, but most tend to want to sell something or whatever.

I actually use one of those linksys wifi iphones with skype...and I bought skypein and skypeoutIts actually really cheap, since I actually use the phone a lotI know its kind of a bad idea but its actually my only form of phone, but since I have wifi at home and on campus (and thats pretty much where I always am) its worked out...Plus one of my housemates has a friend he talks to in china for long periods of time, which costs me so very little

I have the smae problem SB has though...

Hmm. Reflections, mind me asking since you already have yahoo, rediff. Why not Skype? Maybe we can talk then?

I don't know why recently I seem to talk more than I used to be.

And I spend at least an hour to think alone everyday....to balance with what I've said to anyone so I'd not talk like a parrot.

I think it's free as long as it's PC to PC call. Unless if you want to call to a phone registration line, they still allow that but you have to pay a minimum amount of credits to do that.I only found out about that yesterday as i was searching for information about charity for cancer. It's these websites now that, they have this little skype icon besides its office tel-number. I clicked on it hoping I could use my skype to call, and turned out that I need to purchase credit.

//I'm going to this "Relay Run" for cancer today at 6PM.

Why not? I think being able to talk that long is a gift you have. Being creative to carry on a conversation, I have never talked that long before, but would like to try.

Sometimes, keeping quiet just say everything.

Spork, I mean I do engage in a conversation or two with 1 or more people for more than 5 hours.

Not on a telephone or Skype. What I implied was trying on the phone for 5 hours. Even if I have a girlfriend, I wouldn't like to talk that long on a phone without any purpose unless the fire is on and we have issue or not to discuss. That's personal of course I mean it'll be cool to talk more than 6 hours or 10 with your lover on the phone.

I was implying talking on the phone with "normal" friend(s), voice-conferencing or something. And the topics we discuss with a lover and friends are different and we need a different kind of tone.

Talking with friends are important, it's different just. I do pay attention to all kind of problems my friends have and try to give solutions and brainstorm.

My friend was a 'normal friend George..well, lmaooo friend said friend was normal but no papers to prove..hahahah

Iwould not talk so long again because it cost me a *B fortune. Friends fault and mine. See I played a trick, I remeber it well. The friend said I will ring give me your number so I did. Good as the friend's word the friend rang but only for a few mintes to say hello.

I then played said trick. I dialed 1471 lololol and got the number that was called because I never asked for friends number only friend asked for mine...big mistake I talked for five hours...the bill...was....quite...unmentionable..
